Answer:

(A) considering the charge "q" evenly distributed, applying the technique of charge integration for finite charges, you obtain the expression for the potential along any point in the Z-axis:

V(z)=\frac{Q}{4\pi (\epsilon_{0}) \sqrt{R^{2} +z^{2}}  }

With (\epsilon_{0}) been the vacuum permittivity

(B) The expression for the magnitude of the E(z) electric field along the Z-axis is:

E(z)=\frac{QZ}{4\pi (\epsilon_{0}) (R^{2} +z^{2})^{\frac{3}{2} }    }

Explanation:

(A) Considering a uniform linear density λ_{0} on the ring, then:

dQ=\lambda dl (1)⇒Q=\lambda_{0} 2\pi R(2)⇒\lambda_{0}=\frac{Q}{2\pi R}(3)

Applying the technique of charge integration for finite charges:

V(z)= 4\pi (ε_{0})\int\limits^a_b {\frac{1}{ r'  }} \, dQ(4)

Been r' the distance between the charge and the observation point and a, b limits of integration of the charge. In this case a=2π and b=0.

Using cylindrical coordinates, the distance between a point of the Z-axis and a point of a ring with R radius is:

r'=\sqrt{R^{2} +Z^{2}}(5)

Using the expressions (1),(4) and (5) you obtain:

V(z)= 4\pi (\epsilon_{0})\int\limits^a_b {\frac{\lambda_{0}R}{ \sqrt{R^{2} +Z^{2}}  }} \, d\phi

Integrating results:

V(z)=\frac{Q}{4\pi (\epsilon_{0}) \sqrt{R^{2} +z^{2}}  }   (S_a)

(B) For the expression of the magnitude of the field E(z), is important to remember:

|E| =-\nabla V (6)

But in this case you only work in the z variable, soo the expression (6) can be rewritten as:

|E| =-\frac{dV(z)}{dz} (7)

Using expression (7) and (S_a), you get the expression of the magnitude of the field E(z):

E(z)=\frac{QZ}{4\pi (\epsilon_{0}) (R^{2} +z^{2})^{\frac{3}{2} }    } (S_b)

If the total momentum of a system is changing:
DENIUS [597]

Answer:

(d) a net external force must be acting on the system

Explanation:

Momentum is given as the product of mass and velocity.

P = MV

According to Newton's second law of motion, " Force applied to a body (system) is directly proportional to the rate of change of momentum of the body (system) which takes place in the direction of the applied force (external force).

F ∝ΔMV

Therefore, If the total momentum of a system is changing, a net external force must be acting on the system.

(d) a net external force must be acting on the system

The force generated by a single muscle fiber can be increased by increasing is called
mars1129 [50]

Answer:

The force generated by a single muscle fiber can be increased by increasing the frequency of action potentials

Explanation:

The force generated by a muscle fiber is the result of the shortening of the skeletal muscle, and this force is also know as muscle tension. The larger motor units shorten along with the smaller units to produce the muscle force. The time lapsed between the beginning of the action potential in the muscle and the beginning of the contraction is the latent period. Action potential is the result of the difference electrical potential as a result of passage of an impulse along the membrane of a muscle or nerve cell.

A box of mass 50 kg is pushed hard enough to set it in motion across a flat surface. Then a 99-N pushing force is needed to keep
salantis [7]
The box is kept in motion at constant velocity by a force of F=99 N. Constant velocity means there is no acceleration, so the resultant of the forces acting on the box is zero. Apart from the force F pushing the box, there is only another force acting on it in the horizontal direction: the frictional force F_f which acts in the opposite direction of the motion, so in the opposite direction of F.
Therefore, since the resultant of the two forces must be zero,
F-F_f=0
so
F=F_f

The frictional force can be rewritten as
F_f = \mu m g
where m=50 kg, g=9.81 m/s^2. Re-arranging, we can solve this equation to find \mu, the coefficient of dynamic friction:
\mu =  \frac{F}{mg}= \frac{99 N}{(50 kg)(9.81 m/s^2)}  =0.20

What is meant by length of the travel path​
Vanyuwa [196]

Answer:Physics. Distance, the total distance an object travels dependent on its path through space. Optical path length, the product of the distance light travels and the refractive index of the medium it travels through. Mean free path, the average distance that a particle travels before scattering.
